Zvenigora

1928 · 1 hr 49 mins

The momentous film stars Mykola Nademskyi as the grandfather of Tymish, whom he alerts to the secret treasure buried in the mountains of Zvenygora – a treasure that rightfully belongs to his homeland. The film wonderfully blends both lyricism and politics and uses its central construct to build a montage praising Ukrainian industrialization, attacking the bourgeoisie, celebrating the beauty of the Ukrainian steppe and retelling ancient folklore. Sergei Eisenstein said of the film, "As the lights went on, we felt that we had just witnessed a memorable event in the development of the cinema".

Director: Oleksandr Dovzhenko

Cast: Mykola Nademskyi, Semen Svashenko, Les Podorozhniy, Polina Skliar-Otava, Vladimir Uralsky
